A new study
of guenon monkeys in Gombe National Park is the first to provide genetic evidence of ongoing mating between two distinct species.
I will extend this research using a variety of techniques, including computational recognition algorithms based on photographs
of guenon faces, modeling of evolutionary scenarios, experiments to assess guenon preferences, and measurements
of guenon behavior and ecology.
Prior to this I was a a post-doc in James Higham's lab at New York University investigating how the colourful face patterns
of guenon primates were involved in the adaptive radiation of the tribe.
For my dissertation I am studying the form and function
of guenon face patterns.

When the team sequenced these regions and compared them to those from SFV strains isolated from a wide variety
of different species, they discovered that one person had most likely been infected with an SFV strain from a gorilla, one with a mandrill strain, and the third with a virus from a monkey species called De Brazza's
guenon.
Guenons are a group
of forest monkeys in Africa that exhibit an extraordinary variety
of colorful facial displays.

That puts Koons in good company, as other prized Minskoff holdings include Jackson Pollock's Wounded Animal (1943), a group
